Leadership Centre

Selamat siang,

The final stretch! What a week it’s been, the fun never ends in 5/6!

To start off the week, the 5/6s finished prepping their debates, finalising their persuasive language and practising to make sure their team was victorious! On Tuesday, we eased our nerves (well, the students did) because it was time for our AMAZING teacher debates! Teachers stepped into the students' shoes, feeling all the butterflies in our stomachs and the catch in our throats, as we went head-to-head (portable vs. main building) to debate whether young people should have smartphones. With a bit of humour and some great points shared, the main building team came out victorious! It was wonderful to see the students have a go and show all they had learned about the debating process and how to use persuasive language to convince their audience.

In addition, the Leadership Centre presented their Guided Inquiry showcase on our Australian History unit. The 5/6s did an excellent job using Padlet to create a timeline of important events in our history. They even gained first-hand experience from friends or family members who have migrated to Australia. It was lovely to hear all the amazing stories the students gathered from their interviews.

That’s all from us! We hope you have a lovely holiday.

The Leadership Centre Team.

Attention Year 6 Families - Baby Photos for Graduation

We are looking forward to celebrating Year 6 Graduation at the end of the year, with preparations already underway!

One of our beloved traditions is sharing three baby photos from between the ages of 0-5 as part of the presentation. We are asking if you could please email gradesixgraduation@gmail.com with these three photos by November 30th. We usually recommend one baby photo, one as a toddler and one around kinder age but any family favourites will be great! Also, if your child attended another school prior to MPRPS and you have their school photo, it would also be much appreciated if you could send those though.

We will send reminder emails over the coming weeks but we like to get an early start as it takes a while to collate everything! Thank you so much for your support.
